Pride and Prejudice
"Her character will be fixed; and she will, at 16, be hte most determined flirt that ever made herself ad her family ridiculous. A flirt too, in the worst and meanest degree of flirtation; without any attraction beyond youth and a tolerable person; and from the ignorance and emtiness of her mind, wholly unable to ward off any portion of that universal contempt which her rage for admiration will excite."- Elizabeth
